^^^^
Keep playing the chords, but take your finger off the B for the first chord and
use your third finger to play the riff on the second chord.
Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough!
On the verse use hammer-ons on the low E to the 2nd fret, then to the 3rd fret to
change chords from D to G.
You should be able to work out which notes of the chord to hammer on, just listen to the song.
D G Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've found, D G Hanging out and drinking with my friends in the cathedral grounds, D G And later dodging drunks as we dance along Jury Street, D G As we wander up town to the railway our friends to meet, A Em There's something about coming back to your hometown again, G The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, A Em And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, G D I'm a Wessex Boy and when I'm here I'm home D G Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've lost, D G Huddling for warmth on the top step of the Buttercross, D G Sitting on the benches by the bridges at the riverside, D G Of counting down the hours for the buses cause I missed my ride A Em There's something about coming back to your hometown again, G The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, A Em And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, G Bm I'm a Wessex Boy, a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home Bm G A D And one day I will hear this song anonymous and sweet, Bm G A D Ringing out from a buskers guitar on the ancient city streets, Bm G A D I'll stand along while and smile before I continue on the road, A G And somebody else will sing the words and I'll feel like I'm home E---10--7--5-------------------------| B------------7--5--3--3--0-----------| G--------------------------2---------| D----------------------------4--2--0-| A------------------------------------| E------------------------------------| A Em There's something about hometowns you never can escape G The triumphs and the tragedies and those of little faith A Em The welling of nostalgia and feeling kind of strange, G Cause despite the little changes yeah this place still feels the same A Em There's something about coming back to your hometown again, G The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends, A Em And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go, G I'm a Wessex Boy, G D I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
